Themed Rooms

Themed rooms are for the recipes you reuse. If your Coastal Living Room is the same sectional, the same pair of lamps, and the same six accent pieces every time, save it once as a themed room and stop rebuilding it from inventory for every new project. Applying a theme creates a real room inside the target house and places every item from the template on hold for that house.

1. 1

   Open Themes

   Click Themes in the main sidebar to see every template in your account. The list looks and filters the same way the inventory and houses lists do.
2. 2

   Click New

   Click New at the top of the list to start a new template. Give it a name that reads on its own — something like Coastal Living Room or Modern Master Bedroom, since this is the name your team will see when applying it later.
3. 3

   Add a description and photos

   Use the description for staging notes — the look, the season, the kind of property it suits. Upload photos of a real stage that uses this template so teammates can see what they're picking before they apply it.
4. 4

   Save

   Click Save to create the template. The detail page opens with a separate items section ready to fill in.

Open a template and switch to its Items tab. Click Add Items to browse your full inventory and add items into the template. Set a quantity on each line — two pillows, four chairs, one sofa — to control how many copies are placed when the template is applied. Items can be reordered by dragging, and removed individually or cleared in bulk.

Templates only reference items; they don't hold any of your stock. Adding the Linen Performance Sofa to a template doesn't put it on hold and doesn't affect any house. The hold only happens when the template is applied.

1. 1

   Open the house's items page

   Navigate to the house and switch to its items view, the same place you'd add items or set up rooms.
2. 2

   Choose Add Themed Room from the more menu

   From the more-actions menu at the top of the house items page, choose Add Themed Room. A list of every template in your account opens, with the same search and filter chrome as the rest of the app.
3. 3

   Apply a template

   Click the + button on the row of the template you want to use. The room is created, the items are placed on hold, and you're returned to the house items page with a confirmation toast.

The new room takes its name and notes from the template, the photos are copied over, and every template item shows up on the house's hold list assigned to the new room. From that point on it behaves like any other room: drag items in or out, change quantities, rename the room, or delete it. None of those edits flow back to the template, and editing the template doesn't touch rooms produced before the change.

The house keeps a record of which template was applied, so the activity feed shows a clear "applied Coastal Living Room" entry alongside the rest of the house history.

On mobile, editing the new room works exactly like any other room — the same bottom drawer and room chrome the mobile rooms walkthrough covers.

Click any template in the Themes list to open its detail page, where name, description, photos, and items can each be edited in place. Edits save when you save the field; there's no separate publish step. Deleting a template removes it from the list and from the apply-to-house picker; rooms already produced from it are not affected. Deletes are undoable from the toast that appears, and the template can be restored later from the notification bell or the activity feed — but a restored template keeps only its name, description, and photos; the item list has to be rebuilt. See Activity & Restore.

There's no first-class "duplicate template" action. To create a variant — for example, a winter version of a coastal living room — create a new template and add the same items, then change what's different.

• Build out the inventory the template references — every item on the template has to exist in inventory first.
• Lay out a house's rooms alongside the ones a template produces, then keep tweaking until the staging list looks right.
• Apply a template, then track the items it placed on hold as they move through the stage.
